99% there’s a CDN issue. The temporary workaround is to insert into the podfile this:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
# source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

Once the CDN issue is solved just leave : source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

I have the same problem. Tried with 1.8 and with the new 1.9.3 but I can’t install any pods 😦

this issue is already solved CocoaPods/CocoaPods#10078

This is not fixed

This is not a react native specific issue, but is due to CocoaPods CDN being down

Worked for me thank you - cloning the repo also took upwards of 10+ minutes for me.

I can’t see where you added that but. add source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' after platform :ios, '9.0'

Also working for me as of Dec 2020 on a Windows 10 box.

kirkryan on Dec 22, 2020

I have a faster connection and it took 10 minutes. Don’t know what to say

DanielZanchi on Sep 22, 2020

Same for me!

hannojg on Sep 22, 2020

@DanielZanchi I did:

anton.titkov@antimac ios % cat Podfile
platform :ios, '9.0'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
...

The same result:

anton.titkov@antimac ios % pod install

Pod 1.9.3 - maybe this is my trouble?

Sorry, @DanielZanchi - what Podfile to fix?

I added source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' to ios/Podfile - doesn’t help

atlascoder on Sep 22, 2020

in case adding source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' doesnt work for you, try to erase trunk from cocoapods repos rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/repos/trunk
